Of course, but having two podlings working on a spec that's still in flux feels like a waste of energy, as opposed to people collaborating in the same podling. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
